God damn USA! Get with the times. Still using Imperial, still using mag stripes... Your neighbours to the north are disappointed in you. You guys are better than this!
Apparently not. Kind of embarrassing when the only other countries that don't use metric are Liberia and Myanmar.
It's a form of protectionism, since things like 4 liters of milk are not the same as a gallon, so exporting to the US requires different, non-standard sizes.
I was trying to stay awake past noon. No jitters or anything - it just didn't work.Side effect of medication, and I'm not stopping the medication without the doctor's orders - I'm not that crazy:-)
You're the one who hates the facts, and you're the one who is lying to "make a point." You just had to do a bit of research. W'e're talking about places like Damascus where wages average $50 a month, and one month's salary buys 15 kg of bananas. People smugglers aren't running a charity. There's the cost of illegal transport, fake documents, bribes, etc.
Abu Mahmoud is richer than he has ever been, even when he was a doctor in Aleppo. Smuggling Syrians into Europe has made him $100,000 (£60,000) this month alone. But it is not an easy life.
While he charged $1,100 (£700) for a crossing to Greece per refugee, to get to Germany might cost 2,000 euros, but to go on to Sweden or Norway, which are seen to have generous asylum and resettlement policies, costs another 3,000 or 4,000 euros on top.
And that's not counting the "incidental expenses"...
Migration solutions like a hundred thousand dollar speedboat run from Libya to Italy are apparently on offer but overall the transportation market is divided across national and racial lines. Migrants from sub-Saharan Africa pay on average around 700 euro per person to ride down in the cargo holds of whatever boats are available, often with catastrophic results. Richer patrons from the Middle East may pay 2000 euro a head to travel on the same boat, but they are up on deck.
The most popular way to enter Europe remains by plane. So far, no solid data exists on the number of people who use planes as facilitators for slipping through Europe’s closed border. Anecdotes suggest that reaching Europe by air often involves a complex strategy. Iraqi refugees, for instance, can pay 16,000 euro to fly from Mosul to Paris via – and here’s the trick – Cayenne, Belem, Sao Paulo and Istanbul. Moroccan facilitators offer migrants a flight to Paris for five thousand euro that lets them bypass immigration authorities, instead using a hidden exit at Charles de Gaulle airport, an operation that obviously requires accomplices among airport staff and state administration.
I'm not "depriving myself." Kind of hard to feel deprived of something you don't miss, and I was a bit shocked at how easy coffee was to give up after decades of the stuff, so obviously my body doesn't feel deprived either.:-)
I quit drinking coffee cold turkey a year ago because 5 cups in the morning wasn't helping me stay awake. I tried a cup 10 days later, and it reminded me of my first taste of coffee - bloody gross. Not even tempted. I just don't miss it, not even when sitting at the keyboard. But to answer your question, I had been drinking coffee for more than 30 years.
As for booze, what booze? Same with soft drinks - what soft drinks? It's amazing how bad a diet soft drink tastes if you haven't had one for a while. And how overly sweet to the point of disgusting a non-diet one tastes.
If you need caffeine to function normally, you have a problem. Looking for excuses to consume more is a poor excuse for taking action about over-consumption of booze or food. Only ad addict would take this as the solution.
The Brandenburg case was about sedition. SCOTUS ruled that the first amendment is a valid defense against a charge of sedition, contrary to what everyone else claimed, that there was no defense possible.
Isn't firing someone already making it personal? And not paying your employees a living wage, isn't that kind of making it personal? Yelp already has a crappy image - it's not like she did them any real harm.
And yes - it was awesome:-)
All the libtards who go on about how she should just move somewhere else if she can't live on that wage fail to note that businesses DO move to cheaper places, then tell employees that if they want to take the transfer, they'll be paid less "because it costs less there." Look at IBM moving jobs to India as an example.
The supreme court, in Brandenburg v Ohio, allowed the 1st amendment as a defense in cases of sedition. So it's been done, it's legal. and he can argue for his first amendment rights with the blessing of the Supremes.
Continuous deployment is an excuse for not being able to nail requirements the first time. Get the requirements right the first time, write it right the first time, test it right the first time, is a lot better than the sorry excuse that is "continuous deployment." It might be good enough for a piece of shit website, but it's not good enough for real software - the users simply won't tolerate paying for something that is in continuous alpha.
The intent of posting someone's personal information in such a manner is to loosely attempt to incite violence towards that person.
Ridiculous. Maybe it's about publicly shaming this guy - now his neighbors will know it's him and maybe give him an earful.
Only an idiot takes phony user names seriously. (well, except in the case of anonymous cowards, who are aptly named).
BTW, the last few times that SJWs complained about having their addresses posted on the internet, I posted mine. NOTHING has happened since. Don't be such a coward.
That's only SOME. And yes, I do know what's happening - we wanted to take in 25,000 from the Syrian UN camps (a more reasonable move than just letting any old migrant who can bribe their way into the country in), but they simply don't have enough that are ready, so we had to go to camps in Turkey as well. Also, a lot of them aren't ready for the cold weather here - complaining even during a comparative mild spell
Schenk v United States is from 1919. The conviction in Brandenburg v Ohio, 1969 was reversed by the supreme court, and supercedes Schenck v United states. So, nice try but no prize.
Funny how the original developers of Java didn't need a bloated Java IDE to develop it... or is Java "small-scale"?
As for the rest, to each their own. I never said that my way was the best way for everyone, so go dunk your head in a bucket of water and cool off a bit.
A file-based version control system should allow you to rebuild any or all versions in one shot. Makes it easy to keep everything backed up on other media without installing and configuring other software, and sharing with others. KISS beats complex any day. Having policies of who can modify what is also important - "you touch this, I KILL YOU" - so that takes care of teams. Being able to build, or branch off, any specific version at any time takes care of the rest.
"Modern professions software development" "using industry-standard best practices" has failed in too many ways to even begin to count. Or haven't you noticed that, instead of shipping completed products on floppies or cds, they now "ship and patch and patch and patch and patch and patch and..." because of the mindset of "we can patch it later so who gives a crap." The so-called "gold masters" are a lie.

It's more polite to leave the tip in cash, unless you're tipping at least 25%.
Canada moved to chip and pin long ago. Last I looked, we're not in Europe. And without the pin, it can't be used. 3 wrong tries and it's killed.
People are still using cards with a mag strip?
What 3rd world country is this?
You spelled Atheist wrong ... Mormons hate people like me.
If she hadn't made it personal it wouldn't have been better received - it would have been ignored. Now we're talking about it.
And Snowden wasn't advocating or planning a specific act or violence either. Leaking a government document isn't an act of violence.

Yes you are. SCOTUS has held that right to free speech is still ok when defending against sedition.

Only the poor wait in the UN camps.
Feline leukemia virus is certainly contagious among cats, so there's no reason to believe that other viruses can't transmit cancer as well.

Maybe you could start a movement to take that away from us along with everything else. I sure am looking forward to your safety scissors world.
How about we just replace coffee with sex? More health benefits, you'll sleep better, and a lot more fun than a cup of coffee.

Not my fault you hate facts.
So maybe in 2020 Snowden needs to run for President. He can then pardon himself.
Knew that already that your kind wants to destroy heteronormative society.
Why would you say that? I have no problem with a man and a woman having consensual sex.
Oh, right, because giving rights to someone else somehow magically takes away from your rights. What a nutcase.
